Ceiling Plaster Collapse at South Delhi PG Raises Student Safety Concerns
A ceiling plaster collapsed onto a student's bed at a private paying guest accommodation in South Delhi's South Extension, raising renewed safety concerns for students despite government directives for stricter inspections after the Satya Niketan building collapse. The first-year Delhi College of Arts and Commerce student was studying nearby and avoided injury. Students reported previous incidents, including a fallen ceiling fan and an exploded geyser, and alleged PG operators refuse to refund security deposits before six months. They have appealed to authorities for stricter enforcement.
